Today Allison and I took Eva over to Capron Park Zoo in Attleboro. Sure she isn’t quite old enough to see the animals and really enjoy it but it is a nice place to go and visit. Getting out and walking around on a nice fall day was fun. I took a ton of photos that weren’t all of Eva either.

I was looking back through my photos and Allison and I went to the Zoo in May of 2006. It was back when I said, someday we would go to the zoo with our future kids. We went there to take a walk and so I could photograph the animals. There are some beautiful animals at the Capron Park Zoo. We even got a Family Membership to the zoo so we can go back whenever we would like.

I just love seeing the lions and I am happy to see that the zoo is looking to adopt a 2 year old White Lion. We bought Eva a photo of the White Lion to help the fund raising efforts. The zoo hopes to breed this male White Lion with the female lions. The female lions at the zoo carry the gene for the white color form. I look forward to the arrival of the new White Lion.

Whew, made it through that whole post without a “When the Children Cry” Joke. You can view my Capron Park Flickr Set. You can also see all of my visits to the zoo in my Capron Park Collection.

Keeping with the trip down memory lane theme from yesterday, Allison and I went to Capron Park Zoo in Attleboro, MA. I told her we were going on a surprise trip to the zoo. We stopped and picked up some subs and then had a picnic lunch.

Capron Park Zoo is right near the Attleboro High School. I used to go there as a child. I took art lessons at a building at the zoo when I was really young. I loved going to the zoo. I always have.

Today brought back some great memories of the times my parents took me to the zoo over the years. At that time there were some polar bears, and some buffalo. But Frosty died long ago. Capron Park Zoo is another thing I can’t wait to do with our “future kids” (Kids not in existence or even glimmering in existence yet, and yes I’m gonna write that every time).

Allison fell in love with the Civet, the Snow Leopards, Ocelots and the Sloth Bear (pictured above). I loved taking Allison to the zoo. It was a great way to get outside and have fun and it was very inexpensive, great for families. I took a bunch of pictures from the day. They can be found at my Flickr account.
